An adjective coined by some historians, referring to the period of Henry VIII.
Henrician! Ugh! They should have been shot to put us out of their misery.
Damn straight! After all, there's already an adjective to describe the period of Henry - Halcyon.

Wouldn't hieroglyph be a more precise term to refer to an individual character?

Virgin queen who grew up without her mother because Hal had beheaded her. Imagine that kind of thing happening nowadays regularly. Poor little Elizabeth. No wonder she never married. {yeah, I know that ain't the primary reason she never married, but still.}
